Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Randomized, three- arms controlled trial. Two interventional arms and one control arm. Patients with vitamin D and B12 insufficiency will be treated with cholecalciferol-containing supplements and vitamin b12 supplements, or a novel supplement containing both vitamin D and b12.
Participants will be randomized to treatment arms ( Arm1 and Arm2) or control group (Arm3) .
Arm 1: Novel supplement containing both vitamin D (2500IU) and b12 (1000mg), taken once daily for 90 days via oral dispersible tablets.
Arm 2: Two supplements: One dispersible oral tablet containing 1000mg of B12, daily for 90 days and one oral tablet containing 2000IU of vitamin D, daily for 90 days, after lunch.
Arm 3: No treatment, active surveillance
Compliance will be monitored via drug tablet return in the end of the study.

The primary outcome is the effect of serum levels of B12 and vitamin D. This will be assessed by intergroup comparison and by comparison of the two treated groups in the end of the study. All analysis will be performed at the completion of the trial. Participants who withdraw from the study will not be replaced.

Summary
Brief summary
Formulating a supplement with the appropriate ratios of vitamin D and vitamin B12 ensures that individuals get a balanced intake of these nutrients. This can be important for people who have specific health concerns or conditions that may benefit from a particular combination.Purchasing a single supplement containing both vitamin D and vitamin B12 may be more cost-effective than buying two separate supplements. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of a novel dispersible tablet combining 1000mg of B12 and 2500IU of vitamin D in restoring normal levels of these vitamins.
